Proverbs 1:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ It does no good to spread a net
within the sight of any bird.
¹⁸ But these people set an ambush for their own murder.
They go into hiding only to lose their lives.
¹⁹ This is what happens to everyone
who is greedy for unjust gain.
Greed takes away his life.
